"In the future, there will be little brother Lao."

"The general is gracious."

Outside Liu Zhuang, Huang Zhong thanked Liu Feng.

Today is the period of ten days, and it is also the son of Huang Zhong who took Mrs. Huang, his only son Huang Xu and Liu Feng to the north.

Perhaps it is the hope of the only son's treatment, Huang Zhong's complexion is even better than ten days ago, his face is ruddy, and his voice is loud. Standing there has an aura that cannot be ignored.

Today, Liu Feng was wearing civilian clothes and a sword hanging from his waist. Ready for the trip.

"General Xianlao is here for a while, and I will enter the door to say goodbye to my uncle." Liu Feng said apologetically to Huang Zhong.

In fact, Liu Feng had already told Liu Mi, and Chen Da next to him had already pulled out the camp and was ready to march to Xiangshui. But before going out, Liu Feng still felt the need to say goodbye to his uncle Liu Mi.

The love that Liu Mi reveals from his bones has extraordinary significance for Liu Feng.

"Little brother, please." Huang Zhong nodded in understanding.

"Wait a minute." Liu Feng clenched his fists and turned around and entered Liu Zhuang.

Liu Mi's surname was a little impatient, so Liu Feng ran away today, and Liu Mi just stayed in the study and didn't get up to see him off.

In the study, although Liu Mi was holding a bamboo slip in his hand, he couldn't concentrate at all.

"Hey, I don't know what will happen to this nephew in the future." Abandoning the bamboo slip in his hand, Liu Mi sighed and said.

"Uncle, these are thanks to my uncle's care. The nephew said goodbye to you. Outside the door, Liu Feng bowed deeply towards the study and said goodbye.

"Go ahead, remember to take care of yourself." Liu Yu suppressed his heart and didn't go out to see Liu Feng. It's just that in the words, there is still a trace of reluctance.

"Uncle, don't worry. The nephew will not only take care of his body. When he comes back, he will definitely make his uncle lose face. Liu Feng's heart warmed and said.

"Okay, with such ambition, great goodness." Liu Mi believed what Liu Feng said very much, and said proudly.

"The nephew is gone." Liu Feng bowed again, and resolutely turned to leave.

Although his uncle is kind, Changsha will not bring more opportunities and benefits to Liu Feng, Liu Feng knows very well that only by going north can his power expand. In order to raise 100,000 troops in the future and welcome back the Gan family.

So although Changsha is good, my uncle is loving. But Liu Feng could only endure the pain and leave.

"Uncle is waiting for you to return home. When the time comes, there will be a big feast, so that the uncle will be naked. Liu Mi showed sentimentality on his face, but with a smile.

But he imagined that when his nephew came back, he was already out of town and returned home.

After bidding farewell to his uncle Liu Yu, Liu Feng left Liu Zhuang. As soon as he arrived with Huang Zhong, he was surrounded by 600 soldiers and some house slaves and maids of Huang Zhong's family and approached Xiangshui.

After arriving in Xiangshui, he met with Deng Ai, Zhang Gui, Zhou Shun and others who stayed behind, and went north by big boat.

A few days later, Liu Feng's fleet was already close to the range of Dongting Lake. The speed of the fleet is also getting slower.

On the largest building boat, Liu Feng stood at the bow with Huang Zhong, Chen Da and others. His face was a little solemn.

"Further ahead is the range of Dongting Lake, and with such a large scale, even if we want to quietly cross Dongting Lake, I'm afraid we can't." Liu Feng pointed to the big lake road that appeared faintly in front of him.

There are thousands of water thieves entrenched in Dongting Lake, and they are bandits that Liu Biao has not been able to exterminate. Although Liu Feng has 1,000 soldiers and horses, most of them have been recently subdued. I didn't have time to run, let alone fight with the bandits.

Even if it is to break the barracks and fight with the bandits, I am afraid it will be a defeat for both sides.

"I think we should break the bank. The adults on this trip brought a lot of gold and silver, and they could take 100 gold, and send messengers to send envoys to the two bandit leaders in the north and south of Dongting Lake. Xu Tian proposed.

"No, don't let your wealth be exposed. It costs a hundred gold to borrow a road. They will wonder if we have more gold, and if the two of us, blinded by greed, join forces against us, I am afraid that we will never recover. Liu Feng shook his head and said.

"But it is possible to send an envoy there. So be it. You and Zhang Dao each brought a few retinues and a few brocade cloths. The rowing boat went over and bowed to the two thieves. Bluntly said that you want to borrow. We also have twelve hundred people, and the fleet is huge. I think the two thieves should weigh it. Liu Feng thought for a moment and chose this compromise method.

"No." Xu Tian and Zhang Dao thought about it for a while, and also felt that Liu Feng's method was more reliable, so they nodded.

After the two of them retreated, they immediately chose a few retinues and took a few brocade cloths. I plan to take a small boat to Dongting Lake, and as for the large fleet, I will anchor here for the time being.

However, the two did not sail smoothly. Because in the distance, there is a faintly large fleet of ships, rushing towards this side. There are countless boats and boats, and they go down the water, so they are not majestic.

"Changsha water thieves?" Xu Tian, who was about to set off, looked at the other party's banner and couldn't help but change color.

Zhang Dao, Chen Da and the others are the same, even Huang Zhong half-narrowed his eyes, and a flash of essence flashed.

"This is near Dongting Lake, and it is not surprising to meet anyone. Calm down. Liu Feng's heart was also slightly tight, but he didn't show it on his face, but reprimanded everyone.

"Beat the drums, be on guard." Chen Da reacted quickly and ordered loudly.

This building ship was given to Cai Yu by Cai's construction. Now Cai Yu's whole person is Liu Feng's, and this ship naturally becomes Liu Feng's.

In these days of going north against the water, Liu Feng spent his life on this ship. Wearing the one hundred and fifty soldiers stationed in the broken barracks, it can be said that the combat power is strong. It is also the headquarters of the fleet.

There are large drums. Bugle.

As Chen Da gave an order, "Knock knock." The sound of the drum came out at once. As the drums sounded, the boats gathered around the big ship immediately tightened their guard.

Zhang Gui and Deng Ai, the two military marquis, both ordered to strengthen their vigilance. The fleet was also completely moored.

The reason for beating the drum and guarding is that Liu Feng did not confirm whether the other party was hostile, if the other party was not hostile, you would be tantamount to pushing yourself off the cliff if you attacked rashly.

Among the huge fleets of ships that went down the river was a particularly large ship. The ship is very similar to a normal building ship, but it does not have the tall castle tower, and it seems that the ship building is unloaded in order to reduce weight. Converted into a light and fast pirate ship.

At this moment, on the deck of the ship, there were several people standing.

Zhang Gu, Fei Fang, and a few sturdy water thieves.

"That's what you said about Liu Feng? The size of the fleet is much larger than the five hundred you said. Zhang Gu's face was not good-looking, and his tone was a little cold.

According to Fei Fang's intelligence, Liu Feng's army should only have 500 people. Looking at the size of this fleet now, I'm afraid it's thousands of people.

"It's none of your business, as long as you block him here for half an hour, you can get a thousand stone of food." Fei Fang proposed a price code that made Zhang Gu excited.

"I hope you don't break your word." After a long time, Zhang Gu glanced at Fei Fangdao coldly.

"Hehe, we can still afford this price." Fei Fang didn't care much, and said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, Fei Fang stopped talking to Zhang Gu. He stood a few steps forward and looked at the direction of Liu Feng's fleet. At this time, their ship also slowed down. There was a slow pause.

It was only one or two hundred meters away from Liu Feng's fleet, and it shook opposite each other.

"Hmph, tell you to toast and not eat and drink. I, Fei Shi, even saved the fifteen hundred gold that I wanted to return to you. Just a little food can make you disappear. It's a great way to do it, it's simple, and it doesn't leave a trace. Fei Fang looked at Liu Feng's fleet with cold eyes, and snorted coldly in his heart.

In Fei Fang's opinion, their Fei family's pinching Liu Feng to death was as simple as pinching an ant to death. And if an ant wants to rebel against humans, this will happen.

Thinking that as long as half an hour later, Liu Feng would be killed, Fei Fang's mood was very good, very good, very, very good. Even smiling, he seemed to forget that Liu Feng was unreasonable to him when he was in Liu Zhuang.

What to do with a dying man. Fei Fang thought very generously.

When Fei Fang was fluttering, he didn't see Zhang Gu standing behind him, and his face was a little surprised.

At this time, the two fleets were separated by only one or two hundred meters. Zhang Gu could not only hear the sound of drums coming from the opponent's ships, but also completely see the three smaller ones among the four large ships on the other side.

If he was not mistaken, those three ships were the ones he gave to Gan Ning.

When Gan Ning first entered Jingzhou, he once saved Zhang Gu's life, which can be said to be a life-saving grace. Ten months ago, Gan Ning suddenly wrote to him saying that he wanted to be a water thief.

The banners are all out, and they are called Jinfan thieves. Asked him for a couple of big ships.

Although Zhang Gu was surprised that Gan Ning suddenly wanted to be a water thief, he still didn't hesitate to find a way to get seven or eight big ships over. By the way, even the water thieves on the ship were given to Gan Ning.

On Dongting Lake, there has been a long-term struggle. Each faction has carved a few small marks on it that they can recognize. So Zhang Gu could see at a glance that the three big ships belonged to Gan Ning.

"This guy named Liu Feng snatched three big ships from my Gan brother? It's impossible, let's not talk about how brave my brother is, and he is all elite, with his little talent, he will definitely not be my brother Gan's opponent. Not to mention the snatching of ships. Could it be that my brother of the Gan family gave it to him? With this thought, Zhang Gu's heart was shocked.

You know, these three big ships are worth a lot of money, and for the water thieves, the ships are more equivalent to the existence of the surname. But Gan Ning did not hesitate to send three big ships to this man named Liu Feng.

So what kind of friendship should the two have?

Could it be that the brother of the Gan family had a lifelong friendship with Liu Feng?

After having this idea, Zhang Gu was full of worries about Liu Feng's current situation, and looked at Fei Fang, who was leisurely and fluttering next to him.

He worships Ganning as his elder brother and is a brother. Liu Feng is Gan Ning's friend, that is, his friend. Since this person came to him to calculate Liu Feng, wouldn't it be funny?
